Ben Houchen does not like people posting this.

So whatever you do don't repost it in the week Ben Houchen is trying to be elected as Tees Valley Mayor

The reason the UK will have the lowest growth in the G7 next year is Brexit. We're not going to reverse the decline until we begin to remove the barriers - economic, social, scientific - that we chose to erect with the rest of our continent. That's not rocket science. Just say it

A reminder that this is the same government that is currently promising to clamp down on what it describes as 'immoral' waste in the civil service

Have to say Private Eye Magazine is absolutely on fire this week. 👏👏👏

I'm RTing .Chris Packham telling dinosaur #LukeJohnson that he won't find evidence of climate change in #TobyYoung 's daily septic; it comes from something called science —as so-called champion of #FreeSpeech Young has pressured .BBC iPlayer into REMOVING the episode.

Lord David Frost “negotiated” the most disadvantageous trade deal in our history. Now, tilting at windmills of his own imagination, he wants to double down on the philosophy and policies that have self-evidently failed us. He is, literally, preposterous. telegraph.co.uk/politics/2024/…

Tees Valley people — please listen to a man who has proved his commitment to the area for many years and reject Houchen who has been good at PR for himself but has flogged your land and your future to his pals in a way that benefits them more than you.

Oh deary me! Truro and Falmouth MP Cherilyn Mackrory MP repeats industry propaganda dumped sewage is 95% water & the general public are confused.

Challenge Mrs Mackrory: Drink 1 glass of that 95% rainwater from a CSO I choose and I'll donate £1,000 to a charity you choose. (2/4)

Brexit is so relentlessly shit.

It is a fundamentally dishonest project and denying its damage just makes the damage worse.

(Good letter, Times)

At what point I wonder will the boards of Ofwat and the Environment Agency be charged with misconduct in public office Crown Prosecution Service?

For a man who wore an actual name badge featuring an entirely made-up name, this could be construed as progress…

The final results of my poll are in. 3572 voted, and 98% are against the plan. I know that my twitter is an echo chamber of like minded folk, but this poll was retweeted 906 times, I thought the ‘for’ vote would be higher.
Thank you all, seems Dr Mullan was wrong.Dr Kieran Mullan MP 🇬🇧 🇺🇦

Kate Andrews again???

Does she / The Spectator own the BBC?

Excellent blog, summarising the seemingly cynical flaws in Ofcom's research. When GBNews began, I gave Ofcom the benefit of the doubt. I was wrong. It's clearly not fit for purpose.

Nope I have no idea why #PintSizedLoser is trending. Does anyone else have any idea why #PintSizedLoser is trending ?
